Well, you are using hard springs which probably don't compress much under the weight of the car. The springs you are using are probably slightly longer as well. Get yourself some shorter springs in the harder range if that is how stiff you want to run your car to compensate for the reduced compression. Shorter ball cup shock ends can help as well.

I have a question about Arm Mount. I noticed a lot of gap in the Arm Mount hole where the hinge pin is insert in them, this also after fews race.
This gap is more or less higher and different for each supply where I buy.
Is normal or not?
The "PPD Billet" is good, but do not have the choice of new offset and not easy to set up.
Any help is appreciated

The new mount are not better than the old ones if we just look at the "gap".
I do not understand the problem with the PPD billet mounts. They work very good (no gap) and already come with offset like the new TC6.1 armmounts. If you need more offset you need shims, but that is the same thing with the original armmounts.
Only the height of the suspensionarm has to be checked if you change it with the thumbsrews of the PPDbillet armmounts, but therefore you do not have to change them all around which saves a lot of time. I for myself do not change the height often, as there are other setup options that are a lot more effective.
As an alternative to the PPDbillet you can try the ReflexRacing...oops I just saw they don't offer that part anymore... So there is no alternative other than the (expensive) Exotek conversation to suspensionblocks.

I try to avoid setup questions in these forums since I dont drive like you nor you me and we probably arent at the same track, but I do have one general one. I am setting up my TC6.1FT for VTA, that said I had to add 130g of weight to bring it up to the 1550g minimum, Can you guys suggest a good place to start with the springs? I cant imagine the original silver ones are quite enough for the extra weight.
Thanks.
Thanks.
